Need Help! Which PAM111H should I buy and where?

[akinger82]

Hi @ all,

I made my decision and my next watch will be the Panerai PAM111H!
But I'm a little bit confused and I'm not sure,which version would be right for me.
I think,there are different versions,right?
- a model with mineral crystal and single AR and asian hand winding MVT @100$
- same model as above,with sapphire crystal and asian hand winding MVT
- same version with asian unitas swan neck MVT
- swiss grade version with swiss unitas 6497

Some users here recommend the 100$ version(first model) from d4me(mineral crystal with AR)
other users recommend t4d.Also heard of a 180$ Version with sapphire,right?
Also other useres say,the best an only one is the swiss grade with cannon pin fix and superlume.....
Which one should I take?How much do they cost?
Thans for help!
Regards,
akinger82

I heard the AD has some amazing ones!
I'd start with a cheapy one get to get a feel for the watch and if you fall in love start upgrading there are plenty of mods which can be done to these an plenty of damage to the wallet too.

I have a cheap one from Watcheden, love it.

It now takes it's first trip to a modder to have the lume redone. Oh my.... i started to mod watches. My wallet is DOOMED!

Buy the cheapest one decide if you will most likely get it relumed, if so then buy the one with the swan neck and get diial lumed, other wise buy the one with better lumed dial and and AR and if you see the need get the movement changed later both are the same price so it's only a matter of choice.

Where? The bloke above would be a good choice IMO. T4D's 99 and 129 dollar Pams are a steal.

Hi,

thanks for your fast replies!
Well,lets say,my wishes for the PAM are:
- only sapphire crystal
- asian oder swiss unitas MVT

I only want a really HQ Rep and don't want to send it out for modding etc.,because I'm from Germany and it's a little bit difficult here with customs.

What do you think?How important is the reluming and cannon pin fix?
The best way would be a relumed version with CG and cannon pin fix and sapphire crystal with Asian Unitas MVT.
Who can deliever this to Germany and at which price?

 

[trailboss99]

T4D can supply with cannon pin fix done allready along with swan neck MVT for very little extra bucks and his lume is realy quite good. In fact, most Pam lume execpt the real cheapies is quite good.

T4D has GREAT prices on his 111h and offers the high cp fix with sapphire for under 200...
